abuseHello,

Great 1st draft. I like your word choice and want to offer some advice on how to make this a really great poem.

1st- Use stanzas to emphasize your emotional peaks and valleys, and to transition smoothly.
For example:

I can see where you're going;
I can see what you're getting at,
because I speak your language too.

Yet, I prefer my ignorant bliss,
because, honey,
that's just what I do.


or something like that.

2nd- either ryhme or don't ryhme. Establish a pattern, if you must; however, I prefer nonryhming poems. Really, it's a personal choice.Not ryhming affords me freedom.

3rd- proofread for clarity and grammar mistakes. I'd help here, but I'm in a hurry.

4th- I love the following two lines:
"I’m tripping on my stuttured words

And slipping on my own though up jokes"

but I think you mean throw up

5th- revise, then revise again.

Write on!

abuseThis is weird but funny and creative. Mucho kudos. You actually convey a really good sense of the speaker's character. Modern and good
